Masahiko

After graduating from Waseda University, I have worked at several companies.
When I worked at the Research Institute of Tuberculosis, I was in charge of training courses for doctors and laboratory technicians from developing countries as a clerk.
When trainees visited hospitals and health centers in rural areas for supervision, I led them.
I enjoyed the job very much, and I decided to be a guide.

“ Visited shrine, Skytree and Shibuju crossing ”

Had a very good day with Masahiko. He met us at hotel and then showed how to use subway and train station in Shinjuku. Then off to Asakusa and the Skytree with wonderful panaramas of Tokyo. Then to Senso-jo Temple and a lovely lunch nearby. Next off to Shibuja for famous crossing. Finally to entertainment section and little eating laneways. He was very informative and spent more than 6 hours with us. He was open to any of our suggestions and was a very capable guide. The only slight problem was some difficulty in understanding some of his English but this was not a big problem. We had a very good tour of Tokyo and could not have travelled as efficiently on our own nor had all the information. A big thank you to Masahiko.

Masahiko:

I would like to thank you for the comment. Your comment encourages me to collect more information on sightseer's spots such as interesting or funny stories related to the spots and popular photo spots.
And, now think I should improve my English language level by enjoying English movies. I would like to thank you again for your comment.

“ Tokyo Tour with Masahiko ”

Masahiko gave us an excellent English language guided tour of Tokyo earlier this month. Masahiko is very courteous, and also very knowledgeable about the attractions that we went to. He picked us up from the ship port and dropped us back, all exactly as per schedule. Since we were staying in Tokyo for an extra couple of days, he also went to the trouble of emailing me full details of directions for other tourist sites that we might be interested in. I would highly recommend Masahiko to anyone looking for a guided tour in Japan.

Masahiko:

Dear Mr. Mukesh S
I am very pleased to hear that I was able to be of any service to you during the tour.
I am also very happy to hear the word knowledgeable. This word encourages me to keep acquiring information on tourist sites and history of Japan.
I would like to thank you again for joining my tour.
With best regards

“ Tokyo visit ”

It was not very good weather with raining whole day, he customised accordingly for what best we can do in such weather.
Guided very well through public transport system.

Masahiko:

Dear Mr. Ajit Patil
Good evening.
I learned various things through guiding you, your family and your friends' families.
I knew that there is a shop which sells clothes for pets.
I never knew that there exists such a shop
And I knew that there is a branch shop of Itoya Ginza stationery store in Shinjuku.
I also found a good Indian restaurant in Shinjuku.
This kind of information can help me in guiding non-Japanese visitors in the future.
I would like to thank you, your family and your friends' families for giving me good experience.
With best regards
Masahiko Igeta

“ Great Tour! ”

Masahiko was an excellent guide. He communicated well throughout the booking process and made sure our itinerary suited our small group. I was a bit worried about finding him at our appointed meeting place but he was there with a sign and found us right away. (awesome!)
We walked through Kabukicho and visited a samurai museum, had a drink in Golden Gai and ate a quick snack in a yokocho. Masahiko provided interesting facts along the way. We enjoyed all of his recommendations and would definitely use his services again in the future.

Masahiko:

Dear Ms. Linda Miyake
I am now pleased to hear that you were satisfied with the tour.
Your review encourages me to try harder to improve my guiding technique.
I would like to thank you again for joining my tour.

“ One of a Kind Tour guide in Tokyo ”

Masahiko is friendly , effective and very personalized tour guide. He was always on time and helpful in our tour. Since its our first time in Japan, Masahiko was kind enough to guide us in our directions. He was very patient in answering all our queries. During our tour, the weather is bad and it keeps on raining but still Masahiko was able to manage our tour to be a good and memorable one for us. He's also very knowledgeable in sharing to us the culture , history and insights of a particular place. He's being fluent in English makes it easier for us to understand him. He always smile , he is courteous and very professional. i will surely recommend Masahiko and Triplelights to my Filipino friends who have plans of visiting Japan.
Thank you and kindly extend my warm regards to Masahiko.... read more
